1. Introduction
Blood bank is a place where blood bag that is collected from blood donation events is stored
in one place. The term “blood bank” refers to a division of a hospital laboratory where the
storage of blood product occurs and where proper testing is performed to reduce the risk of
transfusion related events (Tabrej alam, Suraj vishwakarma).
Pathology Department is one of the most important departments in Indravati Hospital
(INDH). It processes blood that will be supplied to the patients in HSNZ according to their
needs. Before the blood is supplied to the patients, the blood will undergo several tests to
ensure that the blood receiver is not infected by serious diseases. There are a few units
operating in this department such as Blood House Unit, Blood Transfusion Unit, and Blood
Distribution Unit.
Every month, HSNZ will organize blood donation event which is one of the ways they can
increase the blood stock. After the blood donation events, the blood bags that they obtained
will undergo tests. All of the blood received at the blood donation events must be managed
thoroughly and systematically to avoid patient who need the blood infected by any viruses or
diseases.
Blood Bank Management System (BBMS) is a web-based system that can assists the
information of blood bag during its handling in the blood bank. With this system, the user of
this system can key in the result of blood test that has been conducted to each of the blood
bag received by the blood bank. The result of test will indicate whether the blood bag can be
delivered to patient or not.
From this system, there are several types of report that can be generated such as blood stock
report, donor’s gender report and the total of blood donation according to months and year.
The system also can give the information to the donor about blood analysis test result for
each time the donor makes contribution. Hence, BBMS will make the blood bank stock more
systematic and manageable.
It will take so much of time to search for the required group of the blood. The main objective
of the Secured Integration of Online Blood Bank System is to provide information about the
blood banks, the type of blood is available, and how much quantity is there in every blood
bank will be maintained accordingly. For the Patient angle also the integration of blood banks
to the hospital will be very helpful to make the request online to get the blood directly to the
hospital. Moreover, who are willing to give the blood can register their names online and
later when there is requirement or in the case of campaigns, they can donate the blood.
Currently no such type of integrated blood bank project is available. So, this project will very
helpful in the hospital, patient and donor’s angle. Most hospital blood banks also perform the
testing to determine the blood type of patients and to identify compatible blood products for a
blood transfusion. This is sometimes done by the collecting agency or a contracted laboratory
instead.
1.1 Background

For hospitals, a blood bank

known as blood collection
center, also is an area in
which
collected blood bags are stored
and preserved for future use in
blood transfusion services.
Blood
transfusion is a medical
operation where a patient
requires blood or blood
products as a life
saving measure. In a report by
Ministry of Health(MoH) in its
website, it mentioned that the
total
amount of blood donated
annually in Muscat is
approximately 25,084 units.
MoH further
reported that its
Department of Blood
Services is functioning at
full capacity to meet the
demands in the Sultanate.
Most blood banks are still
running manual system in its
processes. As such, there is a
lack of
efficiency because it is still
paper-based in collecting
information about donors,
inventories of
blood bags, and blood
transfusion services. The lack
of proper documentation
may endanger
patients’ health due to the
possibility of having
contaminate blood bags.
Contamination happened
when there is an incomplete
donors’ medical history record
and the blood bags’ shelf life
is not
monitored properly. Hence, a
web-based blood bank
management system might be
needed to
address these issues and
problems encountered to
ensure blood transfusion
safety.

1.1.2 Problem Statement

Despite advances in
technology, today's blood bank
systems are running in manual
system.
As such, there is a prevalent
problem in the availability of
needed blood types. For
instance,
when a person needs a certain
type of blood and this type is
not available in the hospital,
family
members send messages
through social media to those
who can donate to them and
this process
takes longer than the life of the
patient to the most dangerous.
In addition, it seems that there
is
lack of proper documentation
about blood donors and its
medical history. This may lead
to blood
bag contamination and may
affect the blood transfusion
safety.
Generally, this study
aims to determine how the use
of online bank management
system
enhance blood transfusion
safety. Subsequently, this
study seeks to answer the
following specific
problems:
1) What are the expected
system users?
2) What is the system
architecture to use?
3) What is the level of risk in
blood transfusion in Oman?
4) To what extend the
online bank management
information system can
enhance blood
transfusion safety?
5) Is there a significant
difference in the level of risk
in blood transfusion between
manual
blood and online blood bank
system?

information of blood bag during its handling in the blood bank. With this system, the user of
this system can key in the result of blood test that has been conducted to each of the blood
bag received by the blood bank.
The main objective of the Blood Bank Management System is to manage the details of
Blood, Donor, Blood Group, Blood Bank, Stock.
It manages all the information about Blood, Blood Cell, Stock, Blood. The project is totally
built at administrative end and thus only the administrator is guaranteed the access

The goal of the project is

to develop a web
application for blood
banks to manage
information about their
donors and blood stock.

support donors to view
and
manage their information
conveniently
 To ensure hospital to have
good supply or inventories of
blood bags.
 To check the availability
of blood bags anytime.
 To manage the information
of its blood donor.
 Function to check if the
person donate blood for the
last 3 months.
 To allow good
documentation about the donor
and its blood donation
activities.
 Support fast searching to
find match blood bags for the
right person.

Support fast searching to find match blood bags for the right person.

1.3 Purpose and Scop

1.3.1 Purpose
The software system is an online blood bank management system that helps in managing
various blood bank operations effectively. The project consists of a central repository
containing various blood deposits available along with associated details. These details
include blood type, storage area and date of storage. These details help in maintaining and
monitoring the blood deposits. The project is an online system that allows to check weather
required blood deposits of a particular group are available in the blood bank. Moreover, the
system also has added features such as patient name and contacts, blood booking and even
need for certain blood group is posted on the website to find available donors for a blood
emergency. This online system is developed on .net platform and supported by an Sql
database to store blood and user specific details.

Limitation:
This research study does not
cover the actual blood
collection activity, and actual
blood transfusion operation.
Blood donors and patients
or recipients of blood donation
are not system users, their
registration or information will
be encoded by the blood bank
receptionists. Also, the study
excludes the consideration of
system security measures such
as password expiration, use of
CAPTCHA, idle window
timeout, web caching, etc.,
audit
trail, and back-up and recovery
1.3.2 Scop
The system functions and features of our system will include the following:
1) In future we can connect all blood banks available in particular city to form a chain system
to make available the blood to the needy (patient).
2) There are too many categories of blood depending on the content it includes; in future we
can add information about the blood and its content as per the patient filter the blood type
which he/she searches for.
3) In future we can also provide login feature for the hospitals to request for blood, also to the
blood banks to maintain their donors and if they need blood for stock purpose or if the blood
availability is less than they can contact to donor through Email or SMS for donation.
4) In case of accident or emergency the donor of particular blood bank needs for blood then
he/she will get concession in blood price, for this when donor donates the blood then credits
will be allocated to him/her in their login account.
5)The proposed system (Blood Bank Management System) is designed to help the Blood
Bank administrator to meet the demand of Blood by sending and/or serving the request for
Blood as and when required.
6) The proposed system gives the procedural approach of how to bridge the gap between
Recipient, Donor, and Blood Banks. This Application will provide a common ground for all
the three parties (i.e., Recipient, Donor, and Blood Banks) and will ensure the fulfilment of
demand for Blood requested by Recipient and/or Blood Bank.

1.3.3 Limitation
This research study does not cover the actual blood collection activity, and actual blood
transfusion operation. Blood donors and patients or recipients of blood donation are not
system users, their registration or information will be encoded by the blood bank eceptionists.
Also, the study excludes the consideration of system security measures such as password
expiration, and back-up and recovery.
